net: revert 8728c544a9c ("net: dev_pick_tx() fix")

2013-09-14T13:54:56Z

[ Upstream commit 702821f4ea6f68db18aa1de7d8ed62c6ba586a64 ] commit 8728c544a9cbdc ("net: dev_pick_tx() fix") and commit b6fe83e9525a ("bonding: refine IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE capability") are quite incompatible : Queue selection is disabled because skb dst was dropped before entering bonding device. This causes major performance regression, mainly because TCP packets for a given flow can be sent to multiple queues. This is particularly visible when using the new FQ packet scheduler with MQ + FQ setup on the slaves. We can safely revert the first commit now that 416186fbf8c5b ("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx into __netdev_pick_tx") properly caps the queue_index.

rtnetlink: rtnl_bridge_getlink: Call nlmsg_find_attr() with ifinfomsg header

2013-09-14T13:54:55Z

[ Upstream commit 3e805ad288c524bb65aad3f1e004402223d3d504 ] Fix the iproute2 command `bridge vlan show`, after switching from rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg. Let's start with a little history: Feb 20: Vlad Yasevich got his VLAN-aware bridge patchset included in the 3.9 merge window. In the kernel commit 6cbdceeb, he added attribute support to bridge GETLINK requests sent with rtgenmsg. Mar 6th: Vlad got this iproute2 reference implementation of the bridge vlan netlink interface accepted (iproute2 9eff0e5c) Apr 25th: iproute2 switched from using rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg (63338dca) http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/239602/ http://marc.info/?t=136680900700007 Apr 28th: Linus released 3.9 Apr 30th: Stephen released iproute2 3.9.0 The `bridge vlan show` command haven't been working since the switch to ifinfomsg, or in a released version of iproute2. Since the kernel side only supports rtgenmsg, which iproute2 switched away from just prior to the iproute2 3.9.0 release. I haven't been able to find any documentation, about neither rtgenmsg nor ifinfomsg, and in which situation to use which, but kernel commit 88c5b5ce seams to suggest that ifinfomsg should be used. Fixing this in kernel will break compatibility, but I doubt that anybody have been using it due to this bug in the user space reference implementation, at least not without noticing this bug. That said the functionality is still fully functional in 3.9, when reversing iproute2 commit 63338dca. This could also be fixed in iproute2, but thats an ugly patch that would reintroduce rtgenmsg in iproute2, and from searching in netdev it seams like rtgenmsg usage is discouraged. I'm assuming that the only reason that Vlad implemented the kernel side to use rtgenmsg, was because iproute2 was using it at the time.

net: check net.core.somaxconn sysctl values

2013-09-14T13:54:54Z

[ Upstream commit 5f671d6b4ec3e6d66c2a868738af2cdea09e7509 ] It's possible to assign an invalid value to the net.core.somaxconn sysctl variable, because there is no checks at all. The sk_max_ack_backlog field of the sock structure is defined as unsigned short. Therefore, the backlog argument in inet_listen() shouldn't exceed USHRT_MAX. The backlog argument in the listen() syscall is truncated to the somaxconn value. So, the somaxconn value shouldn't exceed 65535 (USHRT_MAX). Also, negative values of somaxconn are meaningless. before: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 net.core.somaxconn = 65536 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 net.core.somaxconn = -100 after: $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=256 net.core.somaxconn = 256 $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=65536 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" $ sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=-100 error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.core.somaxconn" Based on a prior patch from Changli Gao.

vlan: mask vlan prio bits

2013-07-28T23:30:05Z

[ Upstream commit d4b812dea4a236f729526facf97df1a9d18e191c ] In commit 48cc32d38a52d0b68f91a171a8d00531edc6a46e ("vlan: don't deliver frames for unknown vlans to protocols") Florian made sure we set pkt_type to PACKET_OTHERHOST if the vlan id is set and we could find a vlan device for this particular id. But we also have a problem if prio bits are set. Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device, because skb->vlan_tci is set. Forwarded frame is completely corrupted : We can see (8100:4000) being inserted in the middle of IPv6 source address : 16:48:00.780413 IP6 2001:16d8:8100:4000:ee1c:0:9d9:bc87 > 9f94:4d95:2001:67c:29f4::: ICMP6, unknown icmp6 type (0), length 64 0x0000: 0000 0029 8000 c7c3 7103 0001 a0ae e651 0x0010: 0000 0000 ccce 0b00 0000 0000 1011 1213 0x0020: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0030: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 2e2f 3031 3233 It seems we are not really ready to properly cope with this right now. We can probably do better in future kernels : vlan_get_ingress_priority() should be a netdev property instead of a per vlan_dev one. For stable kernels, lets clear vlan_tci to fix the bugs.

net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.

2013-06-26T20:42:54Z

When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the devnet_rename_seq sequence. This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name()) and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt. The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying the access to give the writer process a chance to finish. The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the reader process in the contended case, but this is better than deadlocking the system.
